User Rating: 9 | Sonic Colours WII
Sonic the Hedgehog has sucked for 6 years now. Is this is epic return? Find out in this review. Story:After apparently developing a sense of remorse for his past indiscretions, the game's antagonist, Dr. Eggman, opens an amusement park in space called "Dr. Eggman's Incredible Interstellar Amusement Park" made up of several planet-sized attractions. Suspicious, Sonic the Hedgehog and his best friend, Miles "Tails" Prower, investigate. They meet Yacker, who comes from a species of aliens known as Wisps. After managing to communicate with him, they learn that the other Wisps have been kidnapped by Dr. Eggman, who plans to harness their energy for his nefarious schemes. Allying with the Wisps and using their special powers, Sonic soon learns that Dr. Eggman is transforming the Wisps into "Nega-Wisps" and using them as fuel for a mind control cannon, and make Earth the star attraction of his theme park. He visits multiple planets, liberating the Wisps and shutting down the generators that link them to the amusement park. When Dr. Eggman tries to fire the mind control cannon onto Sonic's world, a piece of wreckage, created by an earlier boss fight, causes a malfunction. As the amusement park prepares to explode, Sonic sends Tails back down to the space elevator while he faces off against Dr. Eggman as he uses the Nega-Wisps for his final contraption. The contraption uses all the Wisps that Sonic has met against him, but as the machine gets weaker, the wisps are able to escape and help Sonic. With the help of the Wisps, Sonic defeats Dr. Eggman and returns safely to his world, where Yacker thanks them and bids them goodbye.
Gameplay: Sonic Colors follows the same gameplay style as Sonic Unleashed, just ya know with actual platforming. New to the mix are the wisps. There's the lazer, drill, rocket, cube, hover, spike, and burst. They all offer diffrent powers, lazer: Speed of light. drill: Drill underground. Rocket: Flight. Cube: ... Nothing. Hover: Lightdash and flight. Spike: (my fave) Cling to walls and Spindash. Burst: Eat Crap. The Controls are smooth too.
Graphics: Pretty damn good for Wii.
Overall: Great game, just really, you don't have to fully break away from 3D Sega! Still great game, best Sonic game in 10 years!
